*Just a note: I'm sorry the Daily Visit score isn't more 'every day' instead of its current 'every 24h1m', but that is just the front end tracking for you guys and when we run the lotto we pull from a more accurate list. So for those of you visiting every day diligently but not triggering the Daily Visit score reward, don't stress about it!

I'm not wrong because that isn't what I think. Profiting off of something because someone else would if you didn't doesn't make it right. What NEEDS to be done is for the system to change. When people post absolute crap, they should be punished in some way. At least have 10 "points" of posts taken away or something. Sources like Kotaku should be cut off with HHG.
